I have copied some music files to a USB stick using Linux Mint, (on Mint
it auto-mounted with no problems),and I would
like to mount it on RPi. Details of what I have tried are appended. Any
help would be welcome (I need this sorted by Christmas, or my grandsons won't receive a present !!)
As root (sudo bash) on RPi,I inserted the USB Stick:
tail -f /var/log/messages
